ABSTRACT

This chapter discusses maqasid al-shari‘ah [The Aims of Islamic Law], al-huquq al-shar‘iyah [legitimate rights in Islamic Law], the question of al-khuruj [revolution] and fiqh al-muwazanat wa al-awlawiyat [the jurisprudence of balances and priorities]. The latter fiqh – balances and priorities – is an important closure to the discussion of fiqh al-siyasa al-shar‘iyah [Islamic Political Jurisprudence] and enables the reader to build insights into how ‘ulama or fuqaha, in the case of the leadership, pursue their policy.
